Bass fishing the Florida Everglades



Now that the water is still rising with the heavy rain we've been experiencing the flats should be holding more bass soon. Out on alligator alley this week we caught plenty of bass but mostly on the smaller side. In about 5 or 6 hours we boated 30 largemouth bass up to 3 lbs. with a few larger bass missed. For this time of year I'll take that anytime. Hopefully this rain will sit over Lake Okeechobee for a few weeks and raise the water level on the this great lake.

Florida Everglades Bass fishing




Bass fishing in the Florida Everglades has been good despite the rising water and hot water temperatures. I went out fun fishing for bass last week and caught about 30 largemouth up to 3 lbs. with my buddy Tim Gray. If the rain will subside somewhat the fishing will remain good. High water usually forces the bass onto the flats and scatters them making them a little harder to locate.
